The injured will seek compensation
Passengers injured in severe turbulence on a Singapore Airlines flight are expected to take legal action and seek compensation, but the amount each can receive for similar injuries may differ due to international agreement.
According to the Montreal Convention, Singapore Airlines is liable for accidents involving turbulence on international flights, regardless of whether the airline was negligent, according to US aviation lawyers. If passengers sue, the airline can award up to about $175,000 in damages.
If a passenger seeks more compensation, Singapore Airlines can try to reduce liability by proving it took all necessary steps to avoid turbulence, said Mike Danko, a California lawyer representing the passengers. He said airlines rarely win such arguments.
The passenger’s legal representative said the airline could reduce its liability if it could prove the passenger was partially responsible for the injury because they ignored the seat belt warning.
The amount of damages depends largely on the country in which the lawsuit is filed and how the legal system assesses the amount of damages.
